Very nice break in, I loved it! Had to re-read the rules of coursse to get it. :)
It was great fun! Thanks, Dr Logic!

Definitely enjoy these FOW puzzles. The break in here was a bit of a head scratcher for me. I kept rereading the rules to see what I was missing. But after figuring that out, the rest of the solve went smoothly. Thank you.

Very enjoyable puzzle (with some clever wings), thanks for sharing!
Will be interested to see if you set more FOW going forward :]

Super fun puzzle! Really enjoyed how I had to advance from different parts of the board from the very beggining - FoW puzzles usually are more akin to a straight path until the break in.
Super fun!

Easy and fun. However, the wording could really be improved on the quadruple.

Removed random quadruple clue in the grid. Fingers crossed nothing else is incorrect now.

There is an empty quadruple clue in the grid between r3/4 and c5/6. Is there supposed to be something on it?
---------------
Not sure how that got there haha
All fixed now.

When I follow the Sudokupad link, the puzzle does not match your image. There is no given five, and box 7 is entirely covered in fog. I reloaded a few times, and in two different browsers. As far as I can tell, the intended break-in is not possible without these clues.
Edit: the puzzle solves uniquely when I assume that the row 9 clues are present.
------------------
Thank you, should be fixed now

Givens in row 9 are not showing up in the CTC puzzle.
